The peaceful days did not last long.
Boom—
On this day, the majestic borderlands of the Senyue Empire suddenly shook with mountains and rivers trembling, the winds and clouds changing color. The endless city walls trembled as if the end of the world had come.
Woo—
From a high tower on the city gate, an ear-splitting horn blast echoed between heaven and earth, startling all living beings within the entire ancient border city.
Everyone's faces changed with horror.
Because this horn blast represented the occurrence of a Heavenly Calamity. The last time it sounded was during the disaster in the Vast Uninhabited Region, a great catastrophe that annihilated countless living beings and caused the disappearance of eight ancient empires.
Now that it sounded again, many people felt a dazed terror. Could it be that after tens of thousands of years of peace, the Vast Uninhabited Region was once again erupting with a Heavenly Calamity disaster?
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
One powerful aura after another bloomed. Within the Senyue Empire, Divine King Realm supreme experts soared into the sky, and numerous Great Powers charged upward, erupting into intense battle.
Ye Chen and the others exchanged glances, then all shot into the sky. From afar, they saw that behind the border, more than a dozen Imperial Sons and Daughters, as well as Immortal Dao descendants, had appeared. They arrived piloting their respective imperial clan and Immortal Clan divine ships, actually launching an assault on the border, battling the Senyue Empire's border guardians.
A great battle erupted!
Clearly, the Senyue Empire's borderlands were unable to withstand the assault and invasion of so many imperial clans and Immortal Clans. Even though the border walls were engraved with grand formations and inscribed with endless runes, they still collapsed over half in the blink of an eye. A massive stretch of towering wall, over three hundred thousand miles long, came crashing down.
Moreover, more than a dozen Divine King Realm supreme experts descended. Their Divine King might was boundless, sweeping away everything as they easily breached the border.
The many Senyue Empire experts guarding the border were killed or wounded in the blink of an eye. Seven of the ten Great Powers stationed there fell, and casualties below the Great Power level were even more severe. Much of the collapsed ancient walls were stained with blood.
The entire border region was filled with miserable wails.
The Senyue Empire's Divine King guarding the border was sent flying, spitting blood, looking at all this in horror, utterly unable to stop their invasion.
Boom—
The Senyue Empire's Divine King directly crushed a supreme token, and once again, the projection of an Ancient Monarch appeared, its might suppressing the world.
The projection of the Senyue Empire's Ancient Monarch descended upon the borderlands, its expression grave.
However, before it could fully manifest, the Divine Kings of the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans took action. They blasted apart the heavens, directly slaying the Senyue Empire's Divine King. Blood dyed the nine heavens and ten earths, everything stained with a mournfully brilliant crimson light, as if it were the twilight of the gods.
"Divine King!"
Within the ancient border city, countless people grieved. This was a great figure who had guarded the empire's border for tens of thousands of years, maintaining peace and earning the reverence of countless people at the border. Today, he was slain by those from the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. It was simply unforgivable.
"Dare to kill my empire's Divine King? All sinful beings of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain shall die!"
The Ancient Monarch's projection roared. Boundless Monarch laws descended from the sky, flooding that endless territory. Within it, more than a dozen Divine King auras fully erupted, resisting it. A terrifying, fierce battle erupted, shattering the boundless earth. It was a scene of great terror, unimaginably brutal.
Boom! Rumble!—
The city gates collapsed over a vast area, and the earth suffered the same fate. The destruction was about to spread into the border city itself, affecting and killing countless living beings.
"Sinful beings, you all deserve death, ah!"
The Ancient Monarch roared in fury. A great banner appeared in its hand, swirling as it was thrust forward. Instantly, immeasurable Monarch heavenly might erupted, shattering the heavens, annihilating everything.
A fearsome battle raged in the borderlands, similar to the borderlands of the Capricorn Empire, but the Senyue Empire's borderlands were even more tragic. The Divine King guarding the border had fallen, and the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans showed no sign of retreat, resisting the Monarch's projection.
During the chaotic battle, numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies from imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and royal clans swiftly charged into the border interior.
Wherever they passed, it was like a plague of locusts, destroying endless border towers and leaving a scene of devastation.
During this time, Ye Chen clearly saw a familiar figure. It was none other than Imperial Son Hua Chengdao of the Hua Imperial Dynasty. He led numerous Heaven's Pride prodigies of the Hua Imperial Dynasty, soaring through the sky.
"Hua Chengdao, that kid is here too. Should we ambush him?" the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor said. Hua Chengdao had always opposed the human race, leaving a very poor impression.
"Of course. If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If others offend me, I will repay them tenfold. Now is the time to collect a little interest," Ye Chen replied calmly. Imperial Son Hua Chengdao had always targeted the human race. Did he really think Ye Chen was some righteous gentleman who wouldn't ambush?
Sorry, he wasn't!
Swish—
Ye Chen directly shot up from the crowd, targeting Imperial Son Hua Chengdao. Without a word, the Chaos Great Cauldron was hurled out, carrying thousands of layers of primordial Chaos Qi as it blasted forward.
"Chaos Great Cauldron, Battle Saint King, you dare ambush me!?"
Imperial Son Hua Chengdao keenly sensed the impending danger. Seeing the Chaos Great Cauldron, his expression changed drastically, knowing it was Ye Chen making a move. Without another word, a dragon spear appeared in his hand, and the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi within his body erupted fully to meet the attack.
Boom—
The two collided violently, annihilating this stretch of heaven and earth into nothingness.
Imperial Son Hua Chengdao was caught off guard. Furthermore, facing an absolutely peerless Chaos young supreme like Ye Chen, he was sent plummeting downward for over a thousand zhang, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, Ye Chen appeared, stepping atop the cauldron. Without a word, he aimed a foot to stomp down on Hua Chengdao below.
"You dare!"
He was an Imperial Son. For Ye Chen to stomp on him with his foot was absolutely an insult.
With a swish, Hua Chengdao shifted sideways. However, Ye Chen followed like a shadow. Stomping his foot, the Chaos Great Cauldron descended from the sky. The primordial Chaos Qi exploded, making it even more terrifying, accompanied by his cold voice: "Is there anything in this world I wouldn't dare to do? Now I'll suppress you a second time."
Boom—
Hua Chengdao employed an Emperor Art to collide with the Chaos Great Cauldron, but that Chaos Great Cauldron was simply too heavy. Each strand of primordial Chaos Qi was heavy enough to crush mountains and rivers. With thousands of layers descending, even a starry river would be crushed into collapse.
He was smashed from the sky down to the ground, creating a terrifying giant crater.
Swish—
At this moment, Ye Chen descended from the sky, plunging into the giant crater on the ground. Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings manifested behind him, sealing off this stretch of heaven and earth.
"Hua Chengdao, since you dared to attack my human race repeatedly, you must pay the price!"
He spoke coldly, his Chaos Saint Fist clashing against the opponent's dragon spear. Tenfold Divine Haloes manifested behind him, each divine halo shooting out a pillar of divine radiance, suppressing the Imperial Dragon Qi.
"No—"
Hua Chengdao let out an unwilling roar.
Ye Chen's absolute combat power, comparable to the Divine King Realm, erupted fully as he shot past.
Boom—
Hua Chengdao was violently torn in two, blood light bursting forth!
